A bomb threat over alleged mistreatment of white people forced Tufts University to evacuate several buildings on its main campus this afternoon.
Boston.com posted a copy of the poorly written e-mail sent to the university diversity department this afternoon.
Around 3:35 p.m., Tufts University Police posted an alert:
Medford/Somerville campus. Evacuate Ballou Hall, Miller Hall, Campus Center immediately. Take belongings with you. Follow instructions from authorities. Avoid the area.
At 4:59 p.m., police reported all the scenes are clear and said people could resume their normal activities. Police are continuing to investigate who sent the message.

So that's weirdly specific advice.
Because they were mentioned in the threat

... is that it's probably somebody who attends, or did attend Tufts.
Hilarious...

...how the "we are" language morphs into "I'm so tired of this shit".
The mouse in his pocket is doing a lot of work here.

The helicopters moved off by about 4:05 p.m. As of 4:27 p.m. there has still been no "all clear" message across Tufts alert.

Will they want a ban on teaching "Western Civilization" because it paints White people in a bad light. It's freaking history people. You can't change history.

History changes all the time. It's the story told by those who have control over the narrative. Sometimes it becomes more accurate. Other times ... well, Texas.

They want to disrupt the education system at all levels.
Because informed people who are raised to navigate the complicated and diverse world that we live in make poor cannon fodder.

Puts pretty much everyone in a bad light. Around the world we find copious examples of civilizations/cultures/tribes treating others and each other badly.
